Very nice Todd. The end result of this biodiesel washing with Magnesol is that you will have used a lot of water and a lot of time. Me thinks they need a proof reader. LOL! Methinks they do. Would you agree that such slips are telling? Just circumstantial evidence, but still. There is a

You seem rather cross, Chris. Magnesol washed sample were superior. Have you done any tests with Magnesol to come to your conclusion that it is inferior to water washing? Have you evidence that these results are indeed incorrect, or doctored in any way? I reached no such conclusion. I

Chris Bennett was certainly angry. He posted his last message and I just got the notice that he unsubscribed shortly afterwards, before I posted my reply, below. That's ridiculous. Oh well. Best of luck to him. Best Keith Hello Chris Keith Addison wrote: You seem rather cross, Chris.

Chris, Anything beyond the personal production level is going to require industrial filtration in order keep up with the finished product output.. I'd venture to say even as low as 100 gpd would warrant a filter press. The manufacturer claims disposal by composting, the filters are non

The presumption is made that the following is from Dallas Group's PR about Magnesol. .. Water in biodiesel is not a good idea. Most people would agree this is a true statement. Dohhh!!! Perhaps that's why it's removed? Yet most people continue

Chris, Have you thought about using salt water for your biodiesel washing? The salt should help the biodiesel separate. kk Chris Sommerfeld wrote: I manage a small biodiesel lab at a school here in the Bahamas. We currently make about 250 gal a week. Within the next month we plan to

Hello Kenneth Chris, Have you thought about using salt water for your biodiesel washing? You mean seawater? There's a lot more than salt in it, it contains just about everything. I don't know, but perhaps you'd be washing more in than you wash out. Might be worth a try though, with a
